Hi @Upali63 ,

To change the date format in your matrix title, you need to use a DAX expression that returns the formatted date as a text value. You can use the FORMAT function to do this.

"Total Quantities Sold for the day - " & FORMAT([Date], “dd-MMM-yyyy”)

This will return a text value like “Total Quantities Sold for the day - 12-Oct-2023”. You can then use this expression as the title of your matrix visual.

Alternatively, you can create a new measure that returns the formatted date as a text value.

Formatted Date = FORMAT(MAX([Date]), “dd-MMM-yyyy”)

This will return the maximum date in your data set as a text value in the format “dd-MMM-yyyy”. You can then use the following expression as the title of your matrix visual:

"Total Quantities Sold for the day - " & [Formatted Date]
